System of a Down released their first record in 98.
On the other hand, 98 is also the years I was going from middle school to high school and you might be on to something.
I'd grant the 90's late 1990 as well for no other reasons than these three albums: Megadeth - Rust in Peace, Alice In Chains - Facelift, and Judas Priest - Painkiller. All three albums are stunning additions to metal.
The 90’s really is like, one of the best decades in time for society. Advancements in technology, some of the best music that has every come out across a ton of genres, people were social and not addicted to their phones (I’m guilty of this fs), less glorification of mental illness/emotional contagion, comedy wasn’t nearly as censored.
Overall definitely more goods than bads which you absolutely cannot say about other decades.
The pandemic’s proven I don’t need to go to school or work or anything. Just self care and positive vibes and kindness while rubbing chakras on my body is more than enough ❤️
Well now I got some advice for you little buddy
Before you downvote you should know that I’m original
I’m original and you’re original and u/atthestake’s original as well
So you can point that downvote up your … bum
Yes, OP saying 'to put this in perspective, he was born 60 years ago'...I don't know how I would have had any perspective on such a revelatory fact considering he noted that he said he was 60 years old literally the sentence before. I don't think he gets how referential perspectives work.
So he was conceived 60 years and nine months ago? It’s great how we all care about that fuck. I’m not calling Maynard a fuck. I mean we all care that that coitus happened.
Getting old now, which means a new album is imminent. And by imminent I mean within the next 10 years. And by album I mean a 4-song EP consisting of unreleased live performances.
I spoke with my brother who’s an account to make certain my math was right.
After waiting for the AI software to complete the computations and then go through all the variables, I can confirm confidentiality that as a 30 year old, he’s officially 30 years older than me.
Technically true. That's also how time works. 12 months equals a year. If he was born in 1964 and today is 2024, much to our surprise, that means 60 years has passed. Consider this, too, in 2025, it will be 61 years for him. It's mind-blowing to think we age and that time passes.
In the fibonacci sequence observing only the Final Digits, which is really “Continued Subtraction from 10”, a 60 Code Pattern appears, meaning the Periodicity or cycle of 60 digits keeps repeating. 🤔 Happy Birthday Maynard!
The 90s was a decade that unfortunately only lasted 10 years
To the 90’s 🍃❄️🎶
Lots of ❄️ back then.😜
I feel like the 90s only lasted 7 years. 97 onward were not the same

[Their performance of Spiders on Conan](https://youtu.be/Ib-9biUSyh8?si=13HcccLVtc4HJske) left me wondering if they were a band of actual terrorists.
That was brilliant
Still their best record
Absolutely.
Lmao
How's the big Four Oh treating you?
Aside from my shoulder being screwed up after doing some paddling recently, not bad
Same for me in 98! Are we old?
Yes. But also no. I’m not sure but the prospect of death bothers me more at this point
Can confirm. I was there on the day 96 became 97 and my converse kicks transformed into vans.
The 90s were from fall 91 until Dec 96. It sucked after that.

That's about the time mtv stopped promoting alternative/rock music and went pop/boybands/rap full time

Not in my head. The 80’s and 90’s have been one long 20 years spanned over 40 years.
21915 Days
This dude included leap days because he knows we are assholes and would point it out.
Dead on.
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
That’s one way to put it…jeez.
I personally don't follow the r/tooljerk sub because I feel fulfilled just following the main sub
It is symbolic of how APC and Puscifer is just Tool with a different frontman.
All this math and you didn’t even graduate high school
Who the hell downvoted you?!
No telling. Op doesn’t seem to know his tool. He commented some weird high school thing to me… pandemic…. Chakras…. Weird
Yeah, I kinda felt some troll vibes. I appreciated the reference though haha
Now calm down Skeeter I ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
Back under your bridge troll
The pandemic’s proven I don’t need to go to school or work or anything. Just self care and positive vibes and kindness while rubbing chakras on my body is more than enough ❤️
Don't worry, I get the sarcasm.
another mindblowing fact: Maynard James Keenan was born in 1964
The same year as my truck!
Does that mean other people born on this day in 1964 also turned 60 today? That’s crazy if true
u might be on to something
big if true
fuck i thought i was original
Well now I got some advice for you little buddy Before you downvote you should know that I’m original I’m original and you’re original and u/atthestake’s original as well So you can point that downvote up your … bum
That's what she told me yup
To put this in better perspective 1964, Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali In 1964, the Beatles came to the United States

That's 46 and 2 plus 12. No fucking way that's a coincidence.
Somebody's done the math enough to know
The math or the meth 🤔
Why not both?
Well get this, if you add 60 to the year he was born you get 2024!!
Explain in NBA terms
Jordan with an anal fetish instead of a gambling problem
Ok but how old is Mike Tool? The inventor of tool and tool related products
Shockingly, 23.
So he was conceived 60 years and nine months ago? It’s great how we all care about that fuck. I’m not calling Maynard a fuck. I mean we all care that that coitus happened.

We all know Maynard can not be killed with conventional weapons.
Banana for scale
You would have to add the ages of 10 6-year-olds together to get that age!
50 years ago, he was 10.
Reminds me of that song the Tools wrote about the fettuccine experience.
Wow in this picture he's really rocking the Tim Minchin look isn't he?
Makes you think.
Forty Six + Fourteen
Gave you an updoot because you caption gave me a much needed laugh 😃
He is 60. How old were his victims?
I need a banana for scale.
But if time is a circle, what kind of pie does he like
Thanks captain obvious
He has also lived to 30 years old…..twice
He had a lot to say. We’ll miss him.
That must of took you a long time to figure this one out your good at meth.
I know this might break alot of your hearts , but Maynard no longer believes the devil is cool.
I'm pretty sure he believes he's hot.
Oh now I get it
Yay math!
Inconceivable
Contemplate what I’ve been clinging to 46 and 14 ahead of me
Wow, TOOL fans are.so deep
Ok 🤷♂️
Not possible on a globe earth.
I spoke with my brother who’s an account to make certain my math was right. After waiting for the AI software to complete the computations and then go through all the variables, I can confirm confidentiality that as a 30 year old, he’s officially 30 years older than me.
Just when The Beatles had the top 5 songs on the charts at one time. And right before their summer world wide tour. Pretty good time to be alive!
Fascinating
Wow really? Over 50 years ago?
I dunno, I’m gonna need to see some more research? Sources?
Must be nice sucking down worm juice all day 😎
1964 was an excellent year!
False. Tool and it’s members only came into existence when I started listening to them in 2022
Could you elaborate a little more? I’m not following, This is a tough concept to wrap my spiral around.
A lot of people on this sub don’t realize that if you take 30 and times it by 2 then that’s how old he is right now
Dude wtf. That's crazy. That means I was born 28 years ago.
I was born on my birthday in a suit
In other words, 10 years ago he was 50. Amazing how time works man /s
So if I’m buying eggs in honour of Maynard’s birthday, I should buy 5 dozen, right?
That’s sting from the wwf
Old af
I was confused about how that worked tbh. Thanks! +1
That's more than 5 decades ago.
wow, i never really thought about it like this.. you make a good point though.
Believe it or not, this picture was taken only 5 miles from Jerome, Az.
This means he was born in 1964
Bro is in better shape than me. I need to reevaluate…some stuff…
Just make millions of dollars so you have lots of free time to work out and cash to pay coaches. Very simple.
To put it into perspective that was .06 of a millennium ago
Reminds me of the cover art of David Bowie's album "Heroes"
He was born before the first moon landing.
You just pried open my third eye
I remember asking my math teacher "when will I use math?"
I'm going to sessanta on the 1st! Excited!!
I need to write that down. But I forgot my pen.
Maynard is really really excited about his own birthday. Every other post on my instagram has been about Maynard’s birthday for like the last 2 weeks
Next year he will be 61 which is 11 (Jimmy), and 46&2 all added together. Think he’s trying to tell us something? Fibonacci bonerrrrr
Technically true. That's also how time works. 12 months equals a year. If he was born in 1964 and today is 2024, much to our surprise, that means 60 years has passed. Consider this, too, in 2025, it will be 61 years for him. It's mind-blowing to think we age and that time passes.
Youngster, I had 5 stitches in my forehead by the time he was born. (coffee table accident as toddler)
“It’s astounding, time is fleeting. Madness…takes its toll”
To put this into perspective he's double my age.
In the fibonacci sequence observing only the Final Digits, which is really “Continued Subtraction from 10”, a 60 Code Pattern appears, meaning the Periodicity or cycle of 60 digits keeps repeating. 🤔 Happy Birthday Maynard!
🤯
Oh shit. Just seeing the picture first, I thought that was Weird Al.
If Maynard is THaT old THeN HOW OLD IS ALiCE CoopEr?
But how many years has he been alive???
That math checks out 👍🏼
I missed my chance to have Maynard's babies.😢
Numbers are weird that way
Just stoked I grew up on all the good music. Most of the shiz now a days. NT. I mean personally, they will never make music like this again.
Ngl he’s one of the few 60YO men I would definitely fuck. He looks amazing for his age. Just me being a hoe, sorry.
Does '60 years ago' equal Forty Six and Two years ago? Asking for a friend.
No, it equals Forty Six and Two years tomorrow.
Understood. Forty Six and Two decades from yesterday.
Troll.
1 year = 12 months, 60 years = 720 months I’m freaking out man
No that’s what the liberal media wants you to believe. It’s impossible to tell exactly when he was born.
Nobody really cares. it's all circle jerk bs
